African and Middle Eastern server availability were definitely topics of concern for BFV; while we currently have no official word on servers yet, I can only assume they are working hard to prevent last gen's mistakes
Battlefield 2042 MUST have rental servers like BF4. This is the biggest problem in Battlefield today. The changes with rental servers starting with Battlefield 1 has driven people away from the game. Gaming communities provided FREE MARKETING and RECRUITMENT to Battlefield games. EA and DICE abandoned all of those hard working folks that were working for free to bring new people into the Battlefield Universe. Admins of these servers also provided anti-cheat services by reporting cheaters and getting them banned.
I see the EXACT same mistakes being made with this game already by not acknowledging this and promoting a change up front. This makes me believe that they have no intention of having server rentals again (with all of the controls as BF4). It looks like they are giving new technologies with this game but it is NOT what people are asking for.
We want ANTI-CHEAT SYSTEMS AND RENTAL SERVERS LIKE BF4.
Rant over.. but it just seems like EA and DICE refuses to listen to their customers.
Battlefield 2040 MUST have rental servers like BF4. You're killing the BF community by abandoning this concept.

I think BF1-V sucked and that's what drove people away. lol. BF3-4 server usually had rules and I think started the whole whining in game trend. People should be able to play how ever they want, but naa, there's rules and crying how someone else plays takes priority. I don't want to play with baby's and for that I'm out. Not to thrilled about 250-999 ping either. I got two fails bans and PB didn't even reply, not that it would matter if they did. I kind of think they make up these hack numbers. I'm thinking a server got me ban, simple because they don't like snipers. And as fare as I'm concern, it's bad enough getting a false ban, but when servers support cross bans, their no better then EA or PB.
Personally it feels like Battlefield is becoming a COD/Battlefield hybrid especially starting with BF5. Sliding movement, stupid fast TTD, smaller maps, etc.
I know this has huge maps but it wouldn't surprise me if the gameplay is very COD like.
My ultimate point is that there aren't rental servers in COD and there probably won't be any here either

Sorry for the great wall of rant. Sometimes it's more important for a person to speak, then it is that anyone listen. lol
COD is a quick run gun DM like game and BF offered larger maps with tanks, jet's, heli's, snipers, recon, engineer, support, medic and more of a strategy. A BF player should be more versatile if they want to help win games. BF3 was a perfect example of all the different classes players could excel in. There was room on the map for everybody, including air, tanks and snipers. This whole snipers are useless trend grab hold and started getting the game change and nurf. The problem wasn't snipers, but the people crying because they were unhappy they lost a game and blame someone else. Can we all just agree snipers are useless? But, that doesn't make it true. I think a similar thing is happening with cheaters. Can we all just agree everyone is cheating? That doesn't make it true either. That's just a quick copout to me of a player being unsatisfied with their own ability and not knowing how to play the game for fun. Everyone thinks players should play a certain way and take the game all serious. And they think they have the right to crap on other players if their not playing how they think they should. Like oh, your a sniper then your automatically useless and I have the right to crap on you and have everyone else's support. Thinking like this where does it end? It ends in BFV were the whole darn TM run's together and meets at the choke points. I'm so great, but yet running with the TM or stack squad. BFV should be more like a DM and then see who's who. Players just want to run from one flag to the other and don't even care if the flag starts getting taking back as soon as they leave. I can understand why BF3-4 would have rules no attacking the base, because players don't even protect flags, so they don't want to protect their base either. And instead will whine their being attacked, even though the base is able to defend it's self and players like myself are more then happen to defend the base when we have to. But, no the sniper on the hill shooting out the heli pilot is useless. Other snipers would be more then happy to counter that sniper and other players would know that sniper needs to be dealt with first and go visit them. This is the way the game was intended to be played and rules prevent the game to be played as intended. Plus also preventing the sniper from playing his role. Lets just get rid of snipers and air while were at it, because people don't want to deal with air either. Now air is being prevented from their role and now BFV is just run/gun. There was nothing wrong with BF, but the problem was the whining players that just want to run/gun and spam. I notice the spam in BC2 also, plus admits threatening to kick if they brake rules. I use to be for privet servers, but now I don't know. I just think everyone should be able to play in piece how ever they want. BF3 I worked hard to get better in the jet, but just as I got to the point I was near impossible to take down, unless by another pilot I got kicked off the server. That wasn't right. I wasn't a abusive player either and quite the opposite. I wouldn't attack the base, though I think it should be allowed. I only dished out enough to keep control of the game, but not dominate it. I get no satisfaction picking on new players. And I'd also let the enemy get some flying time, by being their wingman vs shooting them down on site. Once they fire on my TM though. It was fun just following the enemy in the jet and watching them bail when they realized they weren't going to sake me. I have fun. But, other's think it's all about k/d. I don't think the game should be balanced, because everyone has access to use the same equipment. Just other's don't want to learn and rather have a easier way to counter. Like air should fight air, not give every noob an easy solution to counter. Same for snipers, counter snipers or stay out of their sites. Not use some flying gismo to counter. A fps should be face to face, not using a PC inside of a PC to avoid confrontation's. Again, there was nothing wrong with BF, accept for they listening to the user. People should just play the game and use what ever is in it. Not add things to the game or nurf players mid game. Games are like phones now of days, always updating and changing. Any changes should be in the next game, not ruin the current game. Because they may please some, but ruin other's people game at the same time. If people don't like the current game, too bad, then play something else.
